How to mount dem newfangled 4frnt bindings . A nice tip

I've heard from a lot of people recently who have gone to a shop to get their 4frnt bindings mounted because the shop people didn't think they had a jig. What these stereotypical know-it-all shop employees don't realize is that they probably do!
Nordica used to contract with Vist to make bindings for their beast series skis a few years ago. Vist is the company that now makes the 4frnt binder, and I know its hard to believe but the hole pattern hasn't changed!
So in conclusion, if ya need to get your 4frnt binders mounted, go to a nordica dealer. When they tell you "we don't have a jig to mount these skis you stupid smelly jib rat" well first cockslap them, and then inform them of the knowledge that I just imparted unto you.
peace out ladies!

plain and simple, nordica made a binding for about a year, than signed over to marker, their is one NORDICA jig on the whole front range of colorado, including the city's of Colorado Springs, Boulder, Denver(huge area) probably more than 100 shops, basically nordica jigs are hard to find, to give you an idea, garts is selling the nordica bindings for 15 dollars, and they are different than the marker jig

i thought they widened the screw pattern, to help prevent rip outs

Look, I wouldn't of posted this if I wasn't sure my information was correct, this is tried and true. I work in a shop that sells 4frnt skis and bindings and we've used our old nordica jig to successfully mount a few 4frnt binders. So if you still for some idiotic reason think I'm wrong, you betta check yoself before ya wreck yoself.
